Default One for the skeptics?

The skeptics here mentioned a flaw with the presentiment studies. Basically, an expectation effect where the arousal continues to build before a negative stimulus, then is released.

I think they could be correct, this arousal building over time might well account for the presentiment effect. I would like to see a good explanation on why that cannot be the case from Bierman and/or Radin. That is why I do not have an article on presentiment on my AMNAP 2.0 blog. I have been thinking about this flaw and wanted to figure out which side is correct. I still don't know, but it seems at least plausible that the skeptical explanation can account for it. I'll be elaborating on this and posting it to my blog soon.

Good work, skeptics.
